JOHN DAVIDSON

A GRUB-STREET BIBLIOGRAPHY

For a combination of reasons, the period
1890-1905 brought a high-water mark in literary
journalism in England, Quite suddenly within
that period there rose and fell an excited in-
terest on the part of the leading London news-
papers in all forms of creative literature. In
part the interest stemmed from the host of
"minor" poets--and their critics--who rushed to
fill the vacuum left by the deaths of Browning
(1889) and Tennyson (1892). More fundamentally,
it marked the first response of the newspapers
and popular journals to the reading public cre-
ated by the Elementary Education Act of 1870.
"Half a century ago," wrote one observer, "the
public that now finds its sole mental food in
newspapers did not exist."*

Whatever the causes, the newspapers of the
1890-1905 period were intimately engaged with

dictment," Spectator, CII (May 1, 1909), p. 692.

the creative literature of their time. As one
instance, there was the debate which raged in
August-September 1898 between Stephen Phillips,
the dramatic poet, and James Douglas, his critic,
on the front page of the popular sporting news-
paper, the Star. The subject of their debate--
the just and proper scansion of blank verse!
Such issues were being raised and disputed in
many a British newspaper in the 1890fs. By 1902
the literary interest had begun slowly to sub-
side. With the establishment of the (London)
Times Literary Supplement in January of that
year, ^ newspapers tended to confine themselves
again to news and reviews, and to leave original
and creative literature to the literary journals
and other publishing houses.

To the mass of literature in newspapers of
the late 1890 's and early 1900 fs there were un-
told numbers of contributors. Virtually every
major writer of the period made some contribu-
tion to the journals and daily press. Often an
author would collect his contributions later,
with or without edition, in book form; quite as
often the contributions remained un-republished.
A survey of the newspaper and periodical litera-
ture of the 1890-1905 period brings one fre-
quently to the work of novelists such as Conrad,

2. Prior to 1902 the Times had remained notably
aloof from the literary preoccupation of other
London newspapers of the time.

Hudson, Gissing, Hardy, Moore, Stevenson, and
Joyce, and of such poets as Yeats, Thompson,
Davidson, Housman, Meredith, and Masefield.
Literary critics of the time got a major portion
of their experience in the newspaper and weekly-
periodical columns--William Archer, Quiller-
Couch, Shaw, Saint sbury, Lang, Gosse, Chesterton.
American authors found a wide audience through
the same medium--Bret Harte, Stephen Crane, Mark
Twain, Theodore Dreiser. It is difficult to de-
termine how far this vast array of writing has
been reckoned with in critical studies of the
authors involved. Some of the literary journal-
ism of Lionel Johnson, Francis Thompson, and
George Bernard Shaw has been salvaged. 3 But of
the territory as a whole there has been no sys-
tematic charting.

It is the purpose of the present study to
illustrate what can be found of the work of one
author, the poet John Davidson, in this verita-
ble wilderness of journalistic contributions.

3. See for example Lionel Johnson, Post Limnium
(ed. Whittemore, 1911) and Reviews and Critical
Papers (ed. Shafer, 1921) ; Francis Thompson,
Literary Criticisms (ed. Connolly, 1948) ; and
George Bernard Shaw, Our Theatres in the Nine-
ties (3 vols., 1932). A similar collection -was
made of the journalistic writings of John David-
son in Edward J. O'Brien, ed. , The Man Forbid,
and Other Essays (1910) .

Such a study begins and ends in uncertainty.
The standard periodical and newspaper indexes
are of little value, being sketchy or non-
existent for this period and this type of publi-
cation. More useful are the published referen-
ces by Davidson himself,^" and references made in
reviews of the poet's work and in interviews with
the author. * On rare occasions Davidson's manu-
script letters give a clue. Most valuable of
all printed sources are the newspaper and peri-
odical obituaries and summary accounts of David-
son's career. 6 Written as they usually are by
men who knew the poet personally, these sources
provide an intimacy and accuracy of detail which
no other source can give. Little by little, by
cross-reference and triangulation, the likely
areas of search are suggested. Yet in the last
resort there is no substitute for the one surest
method of search, the laborious scanning of page
after page of every journal and newspaper, for

every month and year in which the poet may have
made a contribution.?

Even at the end of such a page-by-page
search, the bibliography which concludes this
article is admittedly incomplete. Three dis-
tinct clues to published statements of David-
sons have led me nowhere. 8 For none of David-
son's three prose-miscellany volumes --Sentences
and Paragraphs (1893) , A Random Itinerary (1893) ,
and A Rosary (1903) --have I found complete jour-
nalistic sources, though they apparently do con-
sist wholly of essays and excerpts culled from
his Grub-Street work. Most baffling of all, the
Weekly Review, which the poet sub-edited during
his first months in London, and which carried
early contributions of William Butler Yeats, ap-
pears to have vanished completely.

7. Even here the obstacles of initial-
signatures, anonymity, and pseudonymity still re-
main. For aid in searching many British news-
papers I am deeply indebted to Mr. A. D. Holland
and others of the Newspaper Library staff of the
British Museum.

As it stands, the bibliography comprises
296 contributions made by John Davidson to 33
different newspapers, periodicals, and occasional
volumes. In quantity these contributions are at
least equal to all his forty published volumes
put together. In quality they include some of
his loveliest nature description of walks
through the southern English countryside; they
reflect as well the tortured internal debates of
his later years, and his angry retorts to the
critics who attacked him. They greatly extend
the known volume and range of Davidson's liter-
ary work. Frequently the poet edited these
journalistic writings and published them later
in book-form; yet even for such works a system-
atic bibliography is of distinct value, for it
establishes a more exact chronology of his in-
tellectual and creative activity than has been
possible before. Our understanding of every as-
pect of Davidson's work is increased by a knowl-
edge of his long labors in Grub Street.

For the scholar with world enough and time,
an imposing challenge awaits, in the compilation
of a literary bibliography of newspapers and
journals for the entire 1890-1905 period. Such
a bibliography would immensely enrich our knowl-
edge of a literary period which is still far too
little understood.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DAVIDSON'S PERIODICAL AND

NEWSPAPER CONTRIBUTIONS
